It was my first

It's true I was a card group virgin.....

Until today, I went to a card group

....and I loved it. I can't

wait until next month.

----------

The theme for February was Men's birthdays.

We all met at Lisa's house and she taught us

how to make this card. (above)

We did a reverse emboss (I don't know if

it is really called that) with the tool stamps.

We sanded paper....I had never done that before.

It gives the paper a really fun texture and

pulls the white through....both techniques

that I will be using again very soon.

----------

Just check out all of these cute cute cards

I got to swap with people.

And just to top of a perfect day...

Candice brought a huge tote of stamps,

stickers, scissors, and all kinds of loot

that she was getting rid of. So not only

did I walk away with 11 new cards I got a bagfull

of goodies to boot!!!!

Tune in March 20th to see all the

cute cards from the next time we meet.

Until next time have fun experimenting.....

Whatever you do have a great day!!!
